Mumbai: India's first feature film Raja Harishchandra will repeat history as it is set to be screened in Patna on Friday, exactly a hundred years later since its release in 1913.

"India's first film 'Raja Harischandra', a silent movie, will be screened in Patna as part of an event commemorating the centenary year of the Indian cinema," president, Cine Society, Patna, R N Dash told media.

Though cinema entered India in 1896 thanks to the efforts of Lumiere Brothers, 'Harishchandra', an Indian cinema made by Dadasaheb Phalke was first screened at Bombay's (now Mumbai's) Coronation Theatre on May 3, 1913.

"We are proud to repeat the history of cinema here in our city. We will screen silent, talkies and documentaries to mark the occasion," Dash added.

The day-long event will also see other movies being screened like 'Harischandrachi Factory', the Marathi biopic on Phalke.
